Chapter 90: Towering Kunlun
Wang Tianlai is a legendary figure, some people say that he is a transferred military doctor, some people say that he is a worker, peasant and soldier college student, and some people say that he used to be a Tibetan hermit Gai Dangwa, in short, no one can tell his specific origin, only know that he is a good person with excellent medical skills, treating diseases and saving people in pastoral areas, and is a good person with a bodhisattva heart.
But this person is not a hermit, he is a secular person, it is said that there are overseas relations, often the dragon does not see the beginning and the end, no one has seen him after the late eighties, the magical story about Dr. Wang is widely spread in the pastoral area, the god is like a god, but mixed with too many herdsmen's beautiful imagination, equivalent to mythological stories, basically not very credible, such as Dr. Wang can come back to life, can change people's heads and hearts, etc., in fact, this highly complex operation is still a medical difficulty in the 21st century, not to mention the Qinghai Gobi in the early eighties。
But Dr. Wang's ability to perform simple appendicitis surgery is still valid, which is not a major operation, and for the blind couple who play cotton, the barefoot doctor is also a doctor, and he can save people.
Whether Wang Tianlai is Wang Huayun or not is still up for debate, because there is also an overseas relationship in Wang Huayun's resume, Wang Huayun's first pot of gold is to inherit the overseas inheritance, and then return to China to invest, only to develop to the point where it is today, Liu Kunlun seriously suspects that he is the product of Wang Huayun's artificial insemination obligation under the pseudonym Wang Tianlai as a child Guanyin, so as a father, Wang Huayun will have no feelings for this "illegitimate child", maybe he has many children spread outside in this way.
As for the origin of the fourth sister's life experience, it is even more difficult to check, no one will remember the origin of an abandoned baby more than 20 years ago, in general, Liu Kunlun's trip was a vain run, and he did not find any valuable clues, he decided to return and go to the Sichuan-Tibet line to see the eldest sister's family.
Starting from Delingha, it is not easy to go to a Taoist class on the Sichuan-Tibet line 318 National Highway, someone in the local area gave Liu Kunlun a trick, and planned two routes for him, either take Golmud to Nagqu, or go back to Qamdo, the same can go to 318 National Highway, but the 109 National Highway leading to Naqu has not been repaired, the old road is potholed, and after Golmud up to the plateau of 5,000 meters above sea level, ordinary people can't stand it.
Liu Kunlun decided to take the Golmuda curve road, because there was a place called Kunlun Pass on the road, and he wanted to see it. Delingha is a holy place for young people, and it is also an important transit hub for Xinjiang in the north and Tibet in the south, so a large number of travelers are gathered, including self-driving tours and travelers on bicycles and even on foot.
Because the back seat of the Jetta is full of things, Liu Kunlun can only choose a companion, he did not choose those literary and artistic young women who seem to be in urgent need of help, but chose a young man who rides a bicycle to Tibet, only a strong and powerful man can help in a critical moment, after all, he is a disabled person.
The young man's name is Ji Yuqian, after graduating from a prestigious university, he went to study abroad in an Ivy League school, and after returning to China, he started a business, and he is worth a lot of money, but he still chooses to take a vacation to travel in the rising stage of his career, and he hopes to gain strength and inspiration from the dialogue with nature.
Ji Yuqian's bicycle was placed on the roof rack of the Jetta, the two embarked on a journey, through the Qaidam Basin, across the Qaidam River, the area of the entire basin can catch up with a province in the interior, the vicissitudes of life on the surface are like an alien planet, from time to time there will be an unknown small lake, the lake water presents a strange blue color, the knowledgeable Ji Yuqian said that this is because the lake contains a large number of minerals, get off the car and walk to the lake, the lake is unfathomable, and there are thousands of strange salt flowers on the lake.
"Do you think there will be dragons in this water?" asked Liu Kunlun very seriously.
"Probably not, it is difficult for organisms to survive in this kind of pH water, maybe there will be creatures in the water of those plateau lakes in the Ali area that we have not seen before. Ji Yuqian also explained very seriously.
The two set up tents in the desert and used cassette stoves to make coffee and noodles, and Ji Yuqian talked about his great idea, his goal is to equip people all over the world with implantable portable computers, which can make holographic video calls anytime, anywhere, transfer money and make purchases, and even pair wearable devices for long-distance interaction.
"For example, we are here, where we don't have any cell phone signal, we can rely on satellite signals to talk to anyone in any corner of the world, holographic devices can create any scene, you imagine, surrounded by warm fireplaces and carpets, fragrant coffee on the table, sitting across from you with your lover and child, you are chatting, but in fact she is in her office in Shanghai, and you, beside the desolate road in the Qaidam Basin, technology changes life, man. ”
Ji Yuqian said happily, but Liu Kunlun thought it was a fantasy, but the travelers who met in the north and south of the country chatted on the wasteland itself, so why care about the content.
Bicycle through the Qaidam Basin after arriving in Golmud, this is also a well-known plateau city, the two of them take a short rest, more than 100 kilometers to the south, they arrived at the Kunlun Pass, towering Kunlun, magnificent, full of snow-capped peaks, people's spirit is different, thinking of the fly camp in the city, grievances and hatred, Liu Kunlun feels that it is not important.
In front of the stele in the mountain pass, Ji Yuqian took out a Canon 5D SLR camera to take a picture of Liu Kunlun, and set up a tripod to take a group photo, the altitude here is close to 5,000 meters, altitude sickness is obvious, even the car has asthma, and the pressure cooker must be used to cook.
After the Kunlun Pass, a distance to the south is Wudaoliang, which is an important long-distance relay station on the Qinghai-Tibet line, the highway passes through the town, on both sides are restaurants and car repair shops, scattered more than a dozen houses are located in the ice and snow, the outside world is still full of autumn, here is already a cold winter, the temperature is low to below zero.
Ji Yuqian said goodbye to Liu Kunlun here, he wanted to start the bicycle trip from here, he pursued the hardships and grinding, before parting, the two hugged and gave each other gifts, Liu Kunlun gave Ji Yuqian a down shoulder of his own, and Ji Yuqian left Liu Kunlun three business cards, saying that when you are in trouble, take out one, I will naturally come to help you.
Liu Kunlun set off alone, the destination of the song, he was lonely on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau driving, listening to music, the majestic scenery around will make people empty themselves, and then deeply think about the future of the earth, sigh the insignificance of human beings, drive on, the sky is gloomy, the wind is blowing, the wind and sand are big and you can't see the road ahead, suddenly the car engine emitted white smoke, I don't know when the water tank broke, the engine broke down.
Liu Kunlun still has six bottles of water in the car, if there is no accident, it is enough to drink, but these six bottles of water are not enough to fill the car water tank, especially a leaky water tank, he climbed out of the car, opened the wheelchair, and tried to repair the car by himself, but the wind was too strong and almost nothing could be seen, so he could only go back to the car to dodge, and when he was trying to open the car door, a strong wind blew him straight down from the wheelchair, and after planting a few heels, he couldn't tell the direction, the wind and sand were too big, and the visibility was extremely low, he didn't dare to move, so he could only lie on the ground and pray that the wind would stop as soon as possible.
When the wind stopped, the sky was already dark, the scenery under the moonlight changed greatly, the highway disappeared without a trace, and the Jetta car was gone, Liu Kunlun had never been so afraid, the ever-changing and mysterious nature made him at a loss, and the strong desire to survive made him unwilling to die here, he tried to identify the direction of the stars and the moon, but the sky was dark, there was no reference, and the snow-capped Gobi could not be seen, only the plateau meadow under him was real and touchable.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Kunlun saw that there seemed to be lights in the distance, he looked into the distance, judged that it was a lama temple, so he climbed over with vigor, he didn't know how long the time had passed, and he climbed until his mouth was dry and exhausted, but the lama temple was still like a water moon mirror flower that could not be seen and touched.
Liu Kunlun passed out in a coma, and when he woke up, the sky was bright, and he could see the snow-capped mountains and the Gobi again, but he still didn't know where the road and the car were, he knew that he was lost, and he crawled out in a trance I don't know how far, and now he can't continue to go to the depths of the desert, he must find the road, otherwise he will die and have no place to be buried.
He calculated his crawling speed, even if he was traveling all night, he couldn't go far, his heart was a little calmer, and he tried to attract the attention of the vehicles on the highway by shouting, but no one came to save him when his throat was broken, so after another day, the sky began to smash hail the size of eggs, and Liu Kunlun, who was hungry and cold, felt that he couldn't hold on.
Dying in Kunlun Mountain, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, today is September 20th, is my death day, this is Liu Kunlun's last residual thoughts.
……
The surroundings were extremely warm and slightly bumpy, Liu Kunlun opened his eyes and found himself lying in the back seat of a car, which was obviously a military truck, because the driver was wearing camouflage uniforms, and the rank of first-class non-commissioned officer of the army was still hanging on his shoulders, and the car resounded with the singing of Daolang, and the driver's deep voice followed the humming of the first snow of 2002.
Liu Kunlun got up and looked out of the car, there was still a monotonous and majestic scenery of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau outside, and he understood that he had been rescued, and the life-saving benefactor was this soldier.
The soldier saw Liu Kunlun wake up from the rearview mirror and grinned: "You wake up, drink water, there is a kettle at hand." ”
When Liu Kunlun saw the kettle, he quickly opened the lid and drank it wildly, but he didn't expect that the kettle was filled with hot rice wine, and almost choked him to death.
"Drink, warm your stomach. The soldier laughed, "I also put rock candy and plum, but it's cheap for you." ”
Liu Kunlun said: "Thank you for saving me, by the way, where did you see me, where is my car?"
"You're lying on the side of the road, I'll scoop you up, car, what's it?" said the soldier.
"My car, a white Jetta, the water tank is broken, and the wind is blowing, I went to repair the car and was blown away by the wind, at least a few hundred meters away from the road, how can it be on the side of the road?" Liu Kunlun was puzzled.
"Can I still lie to you?" said the soldier, as a herd of yaks passed by in front of him, and the military card stopped.
"That's strange...... Liu Kunlun suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what day is it today?"
"September 29, what's wrong?"
Liu Kunlun was stunned, he was in a coma for nine days before being discovered.
"That'...... Where is this?" Liu Kunlun only then realized that the scenery outside the car seemed to be slightly different from what he had seen before, with more green and rumbling water.
"This is the territory of Nyingchi. The soldier said.
Liu Kunlun was even more surprised, he had an accident near Wudaoliang, thousands of miles away from Nyingchi, how did he fly here.
